The Golden Gate Bridge

The Golden Gate Bridge is the most photographed bridge in the world. This is the reason — it is the most beautiful bridge in the world. All of the photographs on this page were taken by George over the years, each capturing the bridge in a completely different light and mood.

Photographed from the Marin side of the bay in the late afternoon, with the fog just starting to roll in. George considered this one of the five best photographs he ever took.

Black and white long-exposure photograph of the Golden Gate Bridge taken at dusk, with car headlights appearing as white blurs of light — taken by George Myers and his son Mike when Mike was about 13 years old

The Golden Gate at dusk, in black and white. This is a long-exposure shot of several seconds — you can see the headlights of oncoming cars appear as a soft white blur across the bridge. George and his son Mike shot this together when Mike was about 13 years old. They had been out all day taking pictures, and this was the best one they got.

The Golden Gate by moonlight, with San Francisco glowing in the background. There is only one night each year when it is possible to capture this shot — when the moon is in exactly the right position above the city and the bridge at the same time.
